A garden landscaping company has been fined £600,000 after an employee died while loading a lorry.
Brian White, 59, was working for Kelkay Ltd when he was operating a forklift truck at the company’s site in Pollington, East Yorkshire, on 15 June 2020.
White was fatally injured when the lorry he was loading was moved by the driver, pulling the forklift over and trapping him underneath.
